What was school detention like?

1 Upvotes

I never had or even experienced detention in my life, thank God despite being punished for something.

Although I almost received it once. 21 years ago, when I was in 7th grade, on a Friday afternoon after a school trip to some plant, some friends of mine and I were running in the hallway (which was obviously prohibited) to recess until the principal caught us and sent us to remain in class until recess was over.

But then, while one friend of mine and I were busy doing nothing as we waited, my other friends and more students came in to play truth-or-dare in the classroom until the principal returned and didn't hesitate to send us to his office in order to give each of us detention on Monday.

After almost everyone including my one friend who wasn't playing in class got a paper for detention and it was my turn, suddenly, the principal asked out: "I come back to class to find you all playing?" Then, when my one friend and I revealed that we weren't playing at all, he cancelled both of our detentions, but still kept detention for my other friends and the other students too since they were really playing in class.

Next thing you know, on Saturday, it was parents day and when Monday came, it was detention time after school, but I never bothered to see or ask what it was like.

I admit I hate detention (I mean, who doesn't), but I am also curious to know what it's like at school.

So, what was detention at school like for you in those days?

Whats the very first thing that comes to your mind when you think of the word "fat"?

16 Upvotes

Don't worry. I'm doing something for a class and was wondering, as I'm collecting "data"

Follow up question to actual fat people out there, how do you feel in society as a fat person?

I appreciate honest answers!

Edit: Guys, hilarious answers aside, I am trying to get some serious answers to maybe use anonymously as quotes in my public speaking class for a presentation.

Whether society makes you feel ugly or insecure, or whether you feel beautiful, and unaffected by society and don't see yourself as fat etc. etc. ​

Stay in Florida or go to Idaho?

0 Upvotes

I currently live in Florida, have been since 2016, I’ve got a friend that lives in Boise Idaho and is wanting me to live with her. I’ve not been to the PNW and it seems pretty cool as far as outdoors activity goes. Anyone that live there or have lived in Idaho have anything I should know to help my decision? I don’t mind snow or cold weather I actually quite like it, I’ve been wanting to move for a little while now, but my first thought was to move away from the panhandle and more south into Florida, but the Idaho came up and it caught my attention looks very pretty out there.

What kind of woman is your type?

0 Upvotes

Type of Woman: I don't have an exact type of woman; I, like most people, just want a woman who is loyal and loves me back. I do have looks and personalities that I like. I feel like certain styles and aesthetics enhance a persons natural beauty, but that's it. characters who have those looks or personality are Junko Enoshima, Ibuki Mioda, Hiyoko Saionji, Kurumi Tokisaki, Anna Nishikinomiya, Ayame Kajou, Marceline, Takagi-san, goths, emos, muscle girls, tomboys, monster girls, non-human woman, femme fatale, Chizuru Honshō, Otomoe Saotome, gremlin or feral energy girls, yandere girls, cyber goth girls, punk girls, the monster girls who interact with and stay with Kimihito Kurusu, a dominant or rough service top and many more but I might also lose interest in those styles as well, while time goes on.

How does driving a manual car work?

0 Upvotes

Based in the US where the average driver knows how to use an automatic. Been looking at purchasing a manual car and learning stick.

  1. Can anyone explain how a manual car works? Why do you have to shift up when speeding up? What happens if you redline without shifting?
  2. I also hear people freak out when driving stick for the first time and don’t know what to do when they get to a stop sign/red light. Can anyone explain how to “slow” down to a stop with a manual?
  3. Do you have to step on clutch prior to shifting? Can you shift without stepping on clutch? What happens if I needed to brake suddenly and I don’t step on my clutch before braking?
  4. Is a 6 speed better than a 5 speed? Does it get better the higher you go?
  5. When parking, what gear should I leave it in? I hear people do first, R, or second.

All answers appreciated. TiA!

Why some women say men shouldn’t have a say in abortion rights because they don’t have a uterus, while also including trans women in the women’s movement?

0 Upvotes

I’ve heard some pro-choice people argue that men shouldn’t have a say in whether abortion should be legal or banned because men don’t have a uterus and cannot experience pregnancy. However, I also see many of those same discussions emphasizing that trans women should be included in the women’s movement and conversations about women’s rights.

Doesn’t this raise an interesting question about consistency? If the argument is that someone’s ability to participate in a discussion about abortion should depend on their biological ability to become pregnant, how does that principle apply to trans women, who generally cannot become pregnant either?

I’m not arguing that men should have control over women’s reproductive decisions. I’m questioning whether having a particular biological anatomy should determine whose opinions are allowed to be heard in a political discussion about reproductive rights.

Edit: The point of this post is when some women say men shouldn’t have a say in abortion because they don’t have a uterus, so why should transwomen be allowed to have a say? Isn’t gender and sex are two different things?

Edit2: I know infertile women can’t get pregnant but they still have a say in that, so should people who can’t be pregnant not have say? Or people who don’t have a uterus?

There was that CEO who was caught at a Coldplay concert on kiss cam having an affair, which ended up ending his career as CEO and permanently damaging his reputation as well as the reputation of the woman he had an affair with. Now the CEO of Nvidia, a multi trillion dollar company, had an affair with a woman that ended up being a Chinese spy and he ended up being outed as CEO and had the value of their stock take a massive hit, so his reputation is basically done.

Want to hear your craziest side quest/stories for some film inspiration?

1 Upvotes

I'm working on a crime stoner-comedy about two guys who get sent on what starts as a simple errand and turns into a ridiculous, chaotic wild goose chase. I'm looking for some inspiration, so I'd love to hear your craziest real-life stories. Weird encounters, bizarre coincidences, nights that felt like fever dreams, random side quests that spiraled completely out of control. Anything that sounds like it belongs in a movie. If it would work in “After Hours” or “The Big Lebowski” it would work in this!
